Carol- Sorry your purse got stolen. That happened to me a few years ago. At the time I worked at a bank and my bank keys were in my purse. I was so scared I was going to get fired, lol. They changed the locks and all was fine. I'm sooooo glad your son wasn't hurt! Suzanne- Soooo sorry your foot is hurting so bad. Way to power through it though. Keep up the good work! I started week 2 of the c25k today. It went really well. Actually, I had no trouble at all doing it. The weather here was GORGEOUS today! Great day for running outside. I'm really feeling this fill...which I'm really excited about. I did wake up coughing up reluxy type stuff though. I've been banded for 2 years now and that has never happened to me. I had to chop up my pill into little tiny pieces last night and I think I should have stayed up a little longer to let it finish going down. I will take it much earlier tonight! Take care running buddies!! Keep up the great work!

Yesterday was too bad to post. But, I got my fill today...YAY! So today it's water and protein shakes!

Sorry Suzanne! I know that must be really frustrating. I'm sure after your surgery, you will heal up quickly and be running a 5k again in no time. Take care! I got my fill today! I was missing 1 cc, but they still do not seem too concerned about it. I just hope this one will LAST! I'm going to wait until tomorrow to run. I've been on clear liquids today and only got 3 hours of sleep last night. I'm POOPED!

Whoooo Hooooo Kathy!!! WTG!! Congrats for accomplishing both of your goals! Loved your pics too, you look so happy! I haven't ran in few days, but plan on running sometime tomorrow. I am getting my much needed fill in the morning and I am sooooo glad! I REALLY need it!

Good luck Kathy!! You will do great!!

Yesterday was not a very good food day and today hasn't been much better. I am going to try to salvage the rest of my day though. Yesterday: B- tropical "ice cream" L- sandwich (sandwich thin, 2 T spinach dip, 2 slices deli ham, slice of cheese) D- french dip sliders and a few onion rings (applebee's) S- sugar babies (at the movies)

Glad I'm not the only one, lol. I don't really know why I don't like her, I just don't. It's just a vibe I get from her. I don't have any favorites yet either though. I absolutely LOVE this show!! I seem to stay track better while it's airing.

I hear ya!! Mine started today and I ALWAYS have a terrible food week during PMS! The cravings suck!

I told ya'll about the banana "ice cream" tip I got off of Rachael Ray...well today I made one that tasted like the tropical blizzard from Dairy Queen! It was sooooo good! I blended 1/2 large frozen banana (sliced), little 1% milk (start with 1/4 cup and add as needed while blending), about 4 tbsp pineapple juice, and about a tbsp of chopped pecans. The only thing it could have was a little coconut. It was delicious!!

Today B- 100 cal cocoa almonds S- glass Hood choc milk L- chicken burrito D- turkey breast sub S- 3 cookies :mad: 1 hour at gym

Welcome Zoom-Zoom!

Today 30 minutes strength training (arms and legs) 20 minutes on elliptical

Been slacking lately, but I did pretty good today. 30 min treadmill (intervals- 60 sec run, 90 sec walk) 10 min bike 20 min elliptical

Today was a good day! Very proud of myself for sticking with it today. And some good news...I able to get a fill appt for Monday! Yippee!! Today: B- LC slim fast L- 1/2 c. greek yogurt, 1 oz. almonds D- small grilled chicken breast and a side salad S- LC slim fast and some slice of cheese 1 hr of cardio

Thank you Kathy. We appreciate the prayers. I hope you don't have an injury too. I agree with everyone else, sometimes a few days of rest does wonders. Rest up and get better. First, congratulations on your running success! Great job! Running outside is MUCH harder than the treadmill for me too. The first time I did the c25k, I ran at a pace of 4.5 and eventually built up to a pace of 4.8. My suggestion would be to stay at 4.5 until you complete the c25k and then slowly start working on a faster pace. When I finished c25k, I bumped up to 4.6, then 4.7 and so on. You'll be surprised at how much of a diffence that little bit of increase will make. You are doing great! Keep it up!!

Today: B- yogurt, activia L- 3 slices deli ham, 2 tbsp spinach dip, 1 piece cheese S- bowl of cereal D- mushroom and swiss hamburger and some baked beans S- popcorn, and glass of milk later Man, I need a fill!! I have one scheduled for Oct. 1st but I need one NOW!!

You're welcome! Let me know how you like it.

Yesterday: B- water L- went to a lunch buffet: small piece of cubed steak w/ gravy, green beans, okra, apple salad D- church social: 2 sausage balls, 2 cheese straws, 1/2 pineapple sandwich, few corn chips w/ chili cheese dip I was watching Rachael Ray the other day and she gave a great tip for healthy banana "ice cream". She sliced a banana and froze it. Put the frozen banana slices in a food processor (I used my magic bullet) and add just a little bit of milk (I used 1%) and blend until smooth. Add more milk as needed. I tried it for breakfast this morning and it was good! It had the consistency of homemade ice cream. I used a splash of 1% milk and a little Toasted Marshmallow DiVinci SF syrup. Next time, I think I am going make banana chocolate "ice cream" with the Hood brand chocolate milk. I would think most fruit would work as well. Peaches and strawberries would probably be really good. I think I'm going to start having this for a night snack, since I tend to crave more at night. Just thought I would share this tip with ya'll...

Congrats Becacloud9! Today B- yogurt L- 3/4 c lasagna D- covered dish at church tonight...ate little portions of LOTS of food, lol

Yesterday: B- nothing L- pineapple sandwich D- homemade sloppy joe S- 2 fudge pops, no sugar added Today: B- nothing L- Lean cuisine pot stickers meal D- 1 c lasagna, small piece garlic breat S- small bowl of cereal

Congratulations!! Great job!! WTG Kristen!! That is wonderful!! Sorry you have to have surgery Suzanne. What a bummer. I'm praying that this surgery will fix your problem. I am still on week one. I went to the gym today and ran on the treadmill and did some weights. Still no headaches...YIPEE!! It really sucks having to start over, but today was much easier than the last run. My sister wants to do it with me, but she is still sick. I'm hoping she will be able to start next week, so I can move on. I don't want to get ahead of her, so I'll stay on week one for another week.

LOL...I will try my best, but I can't make any promises. I am a Klutz you know! I never got to day 2, we had a death in the family and I've been struggling to get back with it. My SIL (and my workout buddy) was 6 months pregnant and she lost her baby. She delivered baby Flint late Sunday night. It's truly the saddest thing I've ever experienced. We had a funeral on Tuesday and my SIL is just soooo devestated. Her husband is also my cousin, so I'm related on both sides. Anyway, I plan on running tomorrow again. I will continue with week 1. Congrats to everyone!! Ya'll are doing great!

Thank you luluc. Today: B- yogurt L- chicken burrito D- 1 c lasagna, small piece garlic bread S- cinnamon roll...pretty big one too! Not the best day. I really need to call and get a fill ASAP!!

I've been MIA for a few days. We had a death in the family, so it's been a struggle to get back with it. Today: B- nothing L- jr. whopper D- crockpot chicken and gravy, some broccoli and cheese S- glass of Hood chocolate milk

She is the "I love you, I love you" one. Thank goodness she is gone. She was obsessed!! I really hope he doesn't pick Malissa. I think she's fake and I think she is lying about the kid situation. Doesn't seem like she likes children too much if you ask me. Just a vibe I get from her....
